Since 1984, Cornerstone of Southern California has pioneered addiction treatment in Southern California under the direction of Dr. Michael Stone. Cornerstone is in the beautiful setting of Orange County, California and offers a network of licensed dual diagnosis mental health and addiction treatment centers alongside many sober living homes. We specialize in the full spectrum of addiction treatment from initial assessment and medical detoxification, to inpatient rehab, outpatient rehab, and ongoing support programs. Our range of addiction treatment services are designed to support recovery and facilitate a healthy, progressive return to daily life.
The Cornerstone Team: 90+ dedicated addiction treatment professionals, including medical doctors and psychiatrists, provide expert addiction care. Specializing in medical detox and dual diagnosis treatment, The Cornerstone Team ensures comprehensive treatment for co-occurring disorders, delivering addiction therapy and continuous support to foster long-term recovery and mental health stability.
Insurance and Ethical Practices: We are an in-network provider for most major insurance companies, accepting various HMOs and PPOs. Cornerstone adheres to ethical drug testing practices approved by regulatory bodies such as DHCS and the Joint Commission, ensuring that all procedures meet the highest standards of accountability.
Legal and Court Support Services: Recognized and respected by local court systems in Southern California, our legal support and alternative sentencing programs assist clients with legal challenges, offering support that aids in their recovery to a more normal daily life, while fulfilling legal obligations.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment: As an Orange County dual diagnosis center, we integrate mental health treatment with substance abuse recovery. We have on-site physicians and psychiatrists specializing in addiction treatment that collaborate to provide comprehensive care addressing both substance dependencies and co-occurring mental health disorders.
Steps to Addiction Treatment and Care: After an initial assessment, Cornerstone’s teams provide continuous care and support as client’s transition between levels of addiction treatment based on individual recovery needs. This includes:
One of the most important factors in choosing the right addiction treatment center is continuity—knowing you won’t be passed from provider to provider. At Cornerstone of Southern California, we offer a full continuum of care in-house, meaning you’ll remain under the guidance of the same trusted team from detox through aftercare. Since 1984, we’ve helped thousands of individuals and families by offering all levels of treatment in one coordinated system: medically supervised detox, residential care, extended care, monitored sober living, day treatment, and intensive outpatient programs (IOP). Clients never have to worry about being outsourced to unfamiliar facilities or staff. Every step is managed by our licensed and accredited team, allowing for a truly individualized recovery journey—with the consistency and support that makes lasting sobriety possible.
Whether you live in the state or are from another state and considering California for addiction recovery, these are the reasons why California is a leader in treating addictions:
The American Society of Addiction Medicine provides a continuum of care that clinicians may use to plan treatment, but it also holds us accountable for ensuring complete care for patients who seek help in treatment.
The image below is provided by ASAM and shows the four levels of care, beginning with early intervention and ending with medically managed intensive inpatient services. Although the levels of care are numbered from zero to four, they are not linear in terms of steps.
Your continuum of care might begin with early intervention (0.5) followed by detoxification in a clinically managed high-intensity residential program (3.3) followed by medically monitored intensive inpatient services (3.7), then intensive outpatient services (2.1) and outpatient support (1). Another person’s continuum of care might begin with medically managed intensive inpatient services (4) followed by residential inpatient services (3) and ultimately outpatient services (1).
So, the standard of care is consistent throughout the continuum, but each person’s treatment program can be tailored to their individual needs.

The advantage of such a continuum is that providers are encouraged to think of treatment in holistic terms, from intervention through post-rehabilitation sober living in Orange County, California.
For residents of Orange County and Southern California, the biggest advantage to staying in state is nearness to your family and loved ones, who can support you as you transition to a sober life. Many of our programs, for example, encourage family and group therapies, not only to help everyone heal from the pains of addiction but also to prevent triggers to using alcohol and drugs.
On the other hand, some people deliberately seek a rehabilitation program that is far from home and far from those people, places and things that trigger them to drink and/or use drugs. We recognize this at Cornerstone, which is why we work with our patients to transition to a healthy lifestyle once they’ve completed their inpatient programs.
